Catch Up: Xbee Modules for Arduino and Make Controller
April 25th, 2008 by TheKidd
I always love receiving the next device I plan to experiment with. Its so exciting opening up the packages! Its like Christmas or something.
Anyway, enough of that. I got two Xbee modules in this week. I decided to go with the regular Xbee modules because I’m just playing for now. I’m sure I’ll order the Pro modules one of these days as I come up with new ideas for my little microcontroller buddies.
I also ordered an Arduino Xbee shield from NKCElectronics which I found very reasonably priced plus had great customer service. I can’t say the same price wise on SparkFun. Plus an Xbee board from MakingThings for the Make Controller and two Xbee breakout boards from SparkFun.
Fun fun fun! Here is a pic.
Now I need to play with them this weekend. I might have a lot of time since I’m under the weather with some cold. Of course I’ll update TekCrack as I make headway.
